Voting for US Young Male Athlete has begun. Winner gets his choice of an Impala or a Blazer. BMB is nominated US Male Athlete. He makes a lot more dough so he probably doesn't need the wheels as bad. Vote early and often. http://membership.ussoccer.com/ussoccer/soccerfan/voteall.sps?msid=6&mpid=1&mlid=en
Edson will get my vote, but I'm also interested in getting The Crew some props for their WC Viewing Parties, and Buck-A-Brat Night promotions. I had to give Friedel a thumbs-up too, for his WC performance. VOTE! Good to see you're unscathed by the BS attack, Bill.
The WC tent parties received National and international attention. I would think that and Edson have excellent chances. Bill received Diplomatic exemptions to the BS attacks due to his status as the USA rep to the Vatican. Of course, his modesty prevents his disclosure of that duty and living outside Akron certainly assures his annonymity.
Really knockin himself out keeping up with it, too. Two or three entries a month. Wowzers. How does he have time for drinking when he's slaving away on his blog six sometimes seven minutes every couple of weeks.
The Stadium Club WC bash was really something to behold. There were people driving in from all over the region and rooting for every team. Fan pick-up games at 2am before 4:30 US starts, Brazilian Samba lines, etc. It was an amazing experience in Soccer camaraderie and stunned the C-bus non-soccer types. Does anyone remember what the crowd count was for the Germany game. I seem to recollect 4,000+ at 2:30AM. Amazing...
